how do ppl not like this ?

hmmm, let me think...

No offence but it's probably got to do with the fact it's a Chinese/Japanese adaptation. No exaggeration intended but there are numerous assumptions that have been made about China hating on Japan but chooses to copy their distinct style of animation. Also, Anime based around Chinese web comics aren't most people's cup of tea.

The animation put me off. I forced myself to finish the entire first episode just to give it a proper score..

Actually after having watched the whole thing, i'm honestly surprised by the score on this anime. Something doesn't add up here. Did people make decisions too quickly?

I can understand there are some flaws that can be pointed out, but that technically goes for most anime in general, so i'm not exactly sure what major flaws this anime has compared to any other.



You scored the entire anime based on 1 episode? Really? And you call that a "proper score?"

See, if I am watching an anime and it doesn't click for me on the first episode, I just don't watch it after that. However, I don't score it because it would quite literally make no sense for me to. When people look at the score of an anime, they assume that score is based on the majority of the anime, not based on a single episode.

Maybe MAL needs to make it so people can score individual episodes to prevent such stupidity.

Pretty sure you're aware of how we score anime here on MAL. You can see what score I gave in this anime right?

Let me give you a break down of it.

Overall rating: [6.6/10] (See my list, I gave it 7)

Story: [6/10] - Doesn't matter if you try to finish this anime or watched only the first episode. A good anime should be able to entrance and attract viewers by the first episode. Producers knew this well.

Art: [6/10] - You've watched it right? Up until the end. So I know you'll understand why I gave this score.

Sound: [8/10] - Liked it but not something I would listen into everyday.

Characters: [8/10] - I have no issue with the characters. Every one of them can have their own personality and disposition, but they should at least add up.

Enjoyment: [5/10] - If you can't enjoy it at the first episode, what's the point of blindly clinging into it up until the end.

Can't even remember your own rating .. .that is how absolute garbage your rating system seems to be. You gave it a 6 ... not a 7.

That is like scoring an entire book on the first chapter. Again, if an anime does not capture my attention by the first episode and I don't watch most of it ... I just don't rate it. That's it. The only time i'm comfortable with rating an anime without seeing the entire thing is if I seen the majority of it and it's unlikely the last few episode are going to change the entire anime.

Your ratings you gave the anime is more of a rating based on episode 1 ... not the anime as a whole.

How can you even rate the story at all if you don't even know what the story is? In fact, the first episode has very little to do with the overall story. It's more of a introduction episode for the main characters and that is it.

How can you rate the art when you know budget is typically allocated to more important scenes? Although I would say the art stayed fairly consistent through out it, but I certainly wouldn't have given it a 6/10 and i'm an artist lmao. Sadly art is typically all opinion. But generally when I rate art I rate it on animation and I can tell you this, if you rate this a 6/10 ... majority of anime must be a 6/10 for you with the exception of a few.

Looking at your list you gave Naruto: Shippuuden a 10. Where the hell is your rating system there? Where did your standards go there? The animation in that show is far worse than this show. Only a select few episode had decent animation, mainly during fight scenes. I do realize it's understandable for long anime to have bad animation due to budget, but it just shows how biased you are. Much of the art in the anime was pretty laughable at times. Guess you attention wasn't all there when watching it.

In fact going through your entire list ... your ratings are so out of wack and inconsistent.

The heck you drop FMA:B for? You only watched the first 6 episodes lmao. You gave it an 8 ... O.o .. so why you drop it? It's so much better than the first one, you just have to actually watch it XD. It gets vastly different compared to the first one, just so you know. It's only those first episodes that are similar.

Moving onto sound ... how can you rate an entire anime sound on 1 episode? For all you know the first episode could have had great sound but not the rest or vice versa.
As for characters, you only got a small glimpse of the characters at the first episode and there is more characters than that.

As for your enjoyment. Just because you didn't like the first episode doesn't mean the whole anime wouldn't have been enjoyable. Hell, one of my favorite anime has a pretty crap and boring start. I learned a long time ago, you can't judge an entire anime based on the first episode. Sometimes not even the first few. Now i'm not saying you should blindly cling onto it, I am just saying you shouldn't rate it if you can't.

The point i'm making here is you CANNOT rate an anime on 1 episode. That is just plain silly. It's dishonest.

Funny how you concern yourself so much about me. My way of things and how I rate my animes doesn't even affect your life in any prospect.

What if I gave FMA:B an 8 and drop it 'cause I feel like it? What if I gave Naruto a 10 beacause I want to?

Your standards are not mine to follow. Your pushing your ideas on me like you are the only right person here on MAL.

Hundreds of thousand users here in MAL and you expect them to follow your self proclaimed righteousness. I haven't even met you in person but I can see that you are a very eccentric one.

True that some people watch anime based on the score here. But please do not assume that all people here are as stupid and as easily influenced as that.

You can protest and bleat all you want, but nothing's going to change.

Vampires? Society issues with not accepting people outside of norm? "Magical Powers" (aka Hemomancy", a evil power that made them part of a sick escape game? I still have no idea and for most parts I still don't know how some parts were even a bit relevant to the story - how was ist relevant that those people are bloodivores? How was is relevant that we have time travel involved? Why would you even include detectives, trying to solve the mystery, when you give them only around 5 min screentimes in 12 episodes (not sure if this is true, it felt that way?)

These are not questions in anticipation for a second season by the way, I think those questions classify as "things a viewer should not have ask to him/herself if the anime would have been good")

What came on top: None of the characters was likeable for me. Most annoying one were Anji and Yaya (really: Yaya reviving Anji...just don't give me this crap). I couldn't have cared less if someone would have died along the lines. (And Pleaaaaaase, after 11 episodes of not-useful Anji we learn that she has a shadow power and apparently is responsible for killing the victims of the 1/2 episode? Was that supposed to pull the rug under my feet?

And the action scenes were lame as f*ck.
The only memorable scene was when Mi Liu rescued Anji and declined the desperate hand of this b*tch that tried to kill her.

Really it's one of the worst anime I've ever seen :( Only in my opinion of course.

THIS!

Does not really need to effect my life in any prospect lol. Disagreeing with how someone does something really doesn't require that.



Well it's not much of a concern to me whether you do or not. But it does exactly show the inconsistency in your scoring.



I don't know if i'm pushing my ideas onto you, it's more like I am just explaining to you why I think your way of doing things is silly. I will not even say it's wrong, it's just silly to me. It doesn't make any sense.



LOL .... self proclaimed righteousness? Where did I ever proclaim such a thing may I ask? I mean, you do know what self proclaimed means right? XD Funny.



Then why rate the anime here in the first place?



That is absolutely acceptable. I still think it's silly though to rate an entire anime based on 1 episode and nothing is going to change that either.

Pros: mc's smart detective (+ healing & planning attacks), Anji, Yaya. Cool but poorly done Lee Shin fights, some interesting powers, interesting plot details on paper, very nice bgs, nice music.
Cons: shit pacing, terrible animation, some pos characters, bad lines & acting from Yaya etc.

The plot was interesting and leaves lots of room for expansion. There's so much more yet to be explored potential for this show. This season just scratched the surface.
